The Silver Linings Playbook
“Patel’s extraordinary ability to render an exact likeness of Brian Dawkins’s bust on the hood of a school bus, I pick the black recliner and tell Cliff I am a little depressed.
“What’s wrong?” he says, pulling the lever and raising his footrest.
“Terrell Owens.”
Cliff nods, as if he were expecting me to bring up the wide receiver’s name.
I did not want to talk about this earlier, but it was reported that Terrell Owens (or T.O.) tried to kill himself on September 26. News reports stated that T.O.... overdosed on a pain medication.

I remember T.O. as a young 49er, but Owens was not on the 49ers’ roster when I watched the Eagles play in San Francisco a few weeks ago. What I learned from reading the sports pages was that T.O. had played for the Eagles when I was in the bad place, and he had helped the Birds get to Super Bowl XXXIX, which I do not remember at all.MoreLess
